Now as to Mrs. Partington's reason

= ANOW as W MIS- al tiuStOuS iOoSoh
for being dissatisfaction before pro-
ceeding, the BULLETIN owes an hum
BILE apology to its readers for allowing
Mrs. Partington to get in BLOW. In
the ordinary course of newspaper con.
tr0sersy it is not to be expected that
one side can always give to the others
take, but it is almost Inaccessible 10
allow POOR Mrs. Partington to mare
an apparent point even through a
typographic omission. In setting up
the Grand Jury Report, in the report
of one OF the committees the words
"and Commissioners" after Assessor"
were accidentally omitted-that is,
there WAS what printers call "ah out
This "outp was overlooked in the proof
and tie reading was Your committee
appointed to examine the books of The
Clerk, Assessor beg etc"
Most people would have seen that
something was omitted, and POSSIBLY
Mrs. P. did, but if she did, she was
both indiscreet and Inconsistent in
mis.quoting the BULLETIN in the fol.
lowing:

printing the report of this committee, that
instead of the words ''Clerk, Assessor and
Commissioner" only the Clerk and Assess

the Irregularities exist in re Office Of one or
the otHer of those oniclals.
It will be seen that she. puts TIE
word ''ahd" between CLERK and "As-
SCISSOR" 1t was lndiscreet to hiHt a
falsehood In this manner when it
was so easily disproved, and it was
exceedingly inconsistent to do so
while invoking the thoughts OF honest
minded citizens.
The exception Of Commissioner
Hogan by Juror Montgomery was
omitted intentionally as 1t was not
properly part of the report Anything
of that nature should have appeared MS

the trouble the BbLLETiN left that for
Mrs P. to print it If she saw 1t.
Now again, as to the Unsatisfactory
nature of the report. The report was
undeniably unsatisfactory to Mrs Par
